Three years ago I took this photo of some poppies in a field not far from where I live, over to the right you can see a Thatched cottage

Three years later it has all changed

There is a footpath that is open now which meanders around the edge of the estate
It also connects to the estate
The estate is called Poppy fields, no doubt the poppy head and seeds sculpture are a nod at this
The butterfly another nod as they are a rarity around here so it's about the only one you will see
The poppy head a sad reminder of what we have lost.
Take Care

That is quite a change!
That's a big WOW! I do love poppies. The sculptures not so much. I know around here we have a housing shortage, especially for low to middle income residences. But I have sad feelings for the poppy field there. I wonder, since they are wild, if any will still come up and surprise everyone next spring...
Very cool sculptures, I hope no one vandalizes them
The poppy head and butterfly are interesting works of art, and sadly no replacement for what has been lost.
I understand the need for housing and I hope the new estate is priced so that local people can afford to buy/rent the properties. It is a pity they couldn't leave part of the land to remain as a meadow.
Interesting sculpture. I hope your week is off to a good start.
What are all the posts sticking up on the estate? What purpose do they serve?
The poppies are lovely.
Thanks for sharing at http://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2023/07/rural-hood-ornament.html
And that they call progress.
Wow so big butterfly
Very big
Dam right but not in the direction we want around here
Very big
I prefer a field of poppies
Very true
That I could not say but most estates eeem to hav esome low cost houseing
Not bad
They protect the trees rm rabbits eating them
New estates seem to be 'popping up' everywhere and yes, houses are needed but people still need to enjoy open/green spaces, meadows, nature etc.
Surely it is possible to get a happy medium!
All the best Jan
Not as far as I cans ee
